This pioneering homestay program aims to harness tourism to empower local tea picking families of the Makainbari Tea Estate. There are 21 family houses. Houses are simple but comfortable and families speak English.

The homestay programme is run by Nayan and the local community, who live within the Makaibari Tea Estate in Kurseong (District of Darjeeling).
When you come to Makaibari, you will be living in a homestay in one of the villages, i.e. you will be the guest of one of the local families. You will be made to feel like one of the family and from here you will be able to experience first-hand how the villagers live, allowing you to see and empathise with the daily activities of the locals.
This cross-cultural experience will not only benefit the communities at Makaibari, but it will also widen your own understanding of life within the villages of Makaibari.

My host Mr. Chabilal Rasaily and his family were a gem. They took a great care of me and I got to taste authentic Nepali food at their home. What made it extra special was the love with which it was served. He gave me a tour of the tea gardens and the fact that he was the supervisor in the tea gardens added a lot of experience and authority in the tour. He also showed me his workshop and even made me call my father to inform him that I was well with them. If you want a wholesome family experience, always request Mr. Nayan to stay with the Rasailys. Have a great stay.

As this is a home stay program and not Nayan's actual home, my comments can only reflect my experience with my particular host family, but I believe the warm hospitality and excellent care given would be the same across all host families. The lodging itself was pleasant, clean (especially given the naturally dusty surroundings) and adequately spacious. The bedding was comfortable, the food was clean and of authentic preparation. My hosts were kind and offered me sweet hot tea frequently, and despite our language barrier we were able to communicate well. In comparison to many other little hotels you can stay at across cities in India, the lodging conditions are superb. Staying at Makaibari Tea Estate also allows you the opportunity to take a tour of the tea factory and participate in tea plucking. The town of Kurseong is 3km above the tea estate and can be reached via shared jeep taxis - once there, you can take the UNESCO World Heritage Toy Train (all the way to Darjeeling if you like, but it runs only at 7 AM and 3 PM). There isn't much to do around the area as the entire hill is covered with tea gardens of tea estates, but if you're looking for a relaxing, leisurely-paced break this would be an ideal location. There is also a new local "bar/café" set up for visitors, and is a good mingling spot at night for visitors in the area. The village itself rises and sleeps with the sun, so if you're not a heavy sleeper you could very well be woken up by roosters crowing in the very early morning! In terms of amenities, I found everything I needed and wasn't very bothered. If you are not used to travel in India, however, it is best to ask some more questions so that Nayan can match you with an appropriate home stay. My particular family had a western style toilet, but no toilet paper (easily purchased at the local small store). They also had no hot water, which I was not aware of until my shower that night. There was no internet available (the café might eventually have free wifi) though you can use the computer and internet in Nayan's office for a small fee. If these are big deals for you when travelling, just be sure to check ahead of time! Kurseong has shared jeeps to go to nearby cities (Darjeeling, Kalimpong, etc.) that would connect you to other places to visit in the mountains - Nayan also has various travel books in his office you can browse through to plan your travels in the region. If you are staying for longer I think Nepalese language classes are also available, which could be quite fun too I believe.

Makaibari tea estate is located about 3 kms away from Kurseong railway station. If you're looking for a calm place surrounded by nature and a unique home stay experience then this is your place. One of the reasons why I chose to stay here was because I was traveling in May during the peak season and I knew Darjeeling would be really crowded with tourists. I loved staying with Pranoi's family (one of the hosts) because I got to learn a lot about their lives and culture while getting to taste the world's best tea prepared in different styles each time. If you're going anytime between Monday-Saturday, you would get the chance to go to the tea estate and pluck some leaves along with the local workers. I was there on a Sunday and missed it, although Pranoi's wife who also works at the estate was kind enough to take me along and show how Sickling (cutting out weeds growing near the tea plants) was done and I also got to try it while having some quality conversation with the other workers in the estate. I also got to taste the local rice beer "Chaang" prepared by one of the locals there. Overall it was a great experience for me. Makaibari is looking for volunteers who can help improve the quality of lives of the people there. You can also get more details on this through their website if interested - (URL HIDDEN)

Homestay in the midst of nature and lovely view

Peaceful and quiet .. Perfect place to relax

Wonderful experience ! Beautiful location ! This family run place has recently opened, everything is brand new and nicely decorated , super clean and right in the centre of Kurseong. We are a family of 4 so we took the apartment wing with a double bed and two single beds for the children . We feel so lucky to have found this place . You also have a terrace to enjoy the view on clear days and as it's right in the middle of the tea plantations so you can have nice strolls and visit the one of your choice . We opted for the organic one down the road , Makaibari, a very instructive visit . The rest of the day you can enjoy the various attractions around town , they can help you out with transportation and visits info. It's a lovely local family who know the region very well and with whom you can extensively exchange. Not to mention the food... Oh yes actually I really need to mention it! Delicious home prepared fresh and tasty food, local dishes we did not know, the famous momos, we are veg so we had the veggie option . We stayed longer than planned ! Actually it's a good halt on your way to Darjeeling . And it's an even charmer destination. From there you can take the Darjeeling Himalayan toy train to Darjeeling. . We truly loved it.

Preksha and her family had been a wonderful host.This property is located very close to tea gardens (2-4 min walking distance). Rooms, toilet , kitchen are quite clean .They prepare both Veg and Non Veg food based on the preference of the guest.

suman2017-04-03T00:00:00Z

We only stayed one night in Kurseong but Preksha and her family did so much effort to make our visit wonderful! Communication was very smooth, they helped us by organising a taxi to the airport and cooked an absolutely lovely dinner and breakfast. Their goal of delivering comfort, company and care is 100% achieved!! We felt very welcome and it was fun meeting everybody. The view from the balcony is beautiful and the homestay is 10-15 min walking from the center of the small town and a Tea plantation. Would recommend everybody to stay here instead of Darjeeling if in search for peace and nice views!!

evelien2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

You'd be hard pressed to find better hosts - anywhere. The Constantia Homestay has incredible views of the Kachenjunga mountain on a clear day, along with a scenic balcony view. NOTE: You'll want to wake up early during sunrise to take in both views. The homestay is well maintained and kept clean. But be aware that the Kurseong area has a water crisis. So keep this in mind and try not to abuse it. Preksha and Diwaskar have put a lot of time and effort to create a warm and welcoming stay. They are genuine, kind hearted individuals that go out of their way to fulfill your requirements. All of our meals were delicious, especially those famous homemade momos. Yum! Also, if you're lucky you'll run into their daughter, Maisah. She's so bubbly and cute, all you'll want to do is squeeze those cheeks! Above all, they are great conversationalists. You'll come away with a breadth of knowledge about the area they call 'home'. It was a pleasure staying with them the past two nights and I hope to return in the near future!

Ashmit2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

Our family spent the whole puja vacation of seven days in the hills of Darjeeling and stayed in 5 different homestays. This is the best of the lots. Preksha and her better half are most enchanting, vibrant,passoinate. they are very pious and very careful about their venture and the guest. Their parents are also with them. U will feel the warmth of this family in ur heart. Even the maids are also caring to u. This cosy ambience will let u regenerate... Many thnx to them to cater their homemade wine, superb of a kind. Spend your dream days here n kick off again to your daily life. Excellent food, Specially cared for u. Best wishes.... Move on... NB: Hoping to receive updates in future.....

Tamal2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Constantia Home Living in Kurseong was one of the most memorable homestays. Kurseong is just one and half hour drive to Darjeeling and Bagdogra airport on either sides. We were glad that we chose to stay at a place away from the crowded streets of Darjeeling city. Preksha and Divaskar....a lovely couple, made every effort in ensuring that our stay is made comfortable. They also helped us plan our sight seeing and entrusted us with a reliable driver, Ashok with a safe vehicle. Ashok was an excellent driver, guide and friend....all rolled in one. As much as we enjoyed our sight seeing we also enjoyed the time we spent at the homestay mainly for the musical company that Divaskar provided with his guitar and vocal talent. They showed their caring side by offering local home remedy when one of us was not feeling well. We had an early morning 6.00 am train and it was very thoughtful of Preksha to pack us breakfast for the train journey. Our little son found company with their angel daughter Maisha. The house too was artistically decorated with sketch painted walls that provided the ambience of the local streets of Kurseong. Having said so the amenities in the house are under development like.. storage space, mirrors, dining space, bathroom stands, wifi etc. We are certain that the host will soon take care of these minor improvements. All in all, a wonderful experience with the hosts and their family. We highly recommend this homestay to all the travellers.

Vidya2017-05-25T00:00:00Z

The hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful, they really couldn't do enough to help. Food was delicious and good value. Beautiful views across the jungle from our room balcony. Set among tea plantations. Shared taxi available right outside to take you to the town for just 10 rupees pp. or you could walk in about 30 minutes. We highly recommend this homestay.

Sightseeing in the area
Chimney
The Chimney is the relic of the second cottage built by the British on their way to Darjeeling. While building the Old Military Road between 1839 and 1842. The site of the current Chimney was the main fire in the Cottage which provided accommodation for the Senior British Officers who were supervising the construction of the road. Once the road was completed, the cottage was dismantled and now just the Chimney remains. The first cottage still stands to this day, in Pankhabari.
The Chimney is a short walk from the cottage, and gives the village its name.

Kurseong is a small hill station in Darjeeling district. It has several great view points and tourist destinations along with railway archives, museums, parks and tea gardens. My place is a 10 minute walk from the Heritage Railway Station and away from the noise of the main town. The area around is quiet and peaceful.
The best places and popular tourist attractions here are the Eagle’s Craig, basically a park on the highest hill with a concrete altar of Khukri (traditional Nepali knife) in memory of Gorkha soldiers. Dowhill and Deer park are other places you can visit while here, to enjoy the flora and fauna around along with pine-oak and rhododendron trees. Other places include museums, places of worship and trekking routes.

Spend some time off amongst the rural freshness of Rajeshwari Farm, with our friendly family and pets, enjoying a peaceful stay in this quaint little farm.

Rajeshwari Farm is a family run homestay where you have the chance to take a peek into the village way of life. Stay with the hosts and their friends to see how organic farming is done, learn about exotic vegetables, play with the domestic animals, watch cows being milked in the evening, or perhaps try to make momos.

Our neighbours are just like our extended family. Feel free to interact with them. We speak in Nepali mostly here, but most of us understand Hindi and a bit of English.

Having lived the life of a backpacker ourselves, this particular listing of TIEEDI is a call out to all travellers who are looking for a minimalistic accommodation in clean and hygienic surroundings supplemented with great food cooked as a community meal.

Tieedi is at the village of Sonada, 40min/50rupees from Darjeeling by using shared taxis. An ideal place to experience Darjeeling without the tourists, shops and the diesel fumes. One day hikes are near by which Utsow takes you to. The place itself is a permaculture farm. Highly recommended to experience the real Darjeeling.

Utsow and Aashna were wonderful hosts who made me feel at home during my stay. It was an interesting experience not only because it was my first time in a backpacker hostel but also because I got to learn about ways one can create an eco-friendly living environment. During my stay there, I also got to visit their farm which was an extension of their home. It was inspiring to see the various initiatives they had taken to improve the environment while trying to do sustainable farming through permaculture. Overall, my experience was great and I would love to stay with them again. :)
